Ballistol Gunex Cleaning and Preservation Oil
Ballistol Gunex is a mineral-based cleaning and preservation oil, repeatedly awarded for its outstanding anticorrosive performance. It is specifically developed for firearm care but is also widely used for the protection, lubrication and maintenance of metal parts in industry, transport, outdoor, marine and household applications.
Gunex is ideal for the long-term preservation of bare metallic parts, even under extreme climatic conditions ranging from -50°C to +100°C. It penetrates deeply, displaces moisture, creeps into hairline cracks, and protects metal surfaces without becoming sticky or resinifying.
